Palm Coast seeks more efficient ambulance, EMS, system City fire trucks are used more often for medical calls than for fires. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast and Flagler County duplicate each others’ EMS services — a costly inefficiency — and the city hasn’t been able to meet its goal of an EMS response time of five minutes or less, Palm Coast Fire Chief Mike Beadle told the City Council at a Nov. 24 City Council workshop. The report Beadle gave was requested by council members and city staff who are frustrated with repeatedly sending out city fire trucks to respond to 911 calls that are overwhelmingly medical. Fire trucks are expensive to run and maintain, and it would be cheaper for the city to send ambulances. But Palm Coast can’t do that, because, under Florida law, municipalities need the permission of their county to run an SEE EMS PAGE 2A

GIVING THANKS FOR

WHERE I’VE BEEN, WHERE I AM After a childhood of poverty in Italy, Tony Benvenuto is now a successful soccer coach at Matanzas High.

“The misconception was that we’d be coming to the United States and would be picking money off of trees.”

JEFF DAWSEY STAFF WRITER

Matanzas girls soccer coach Tony Benvenuto has come, literally, a long way from the poor lifestyle he was accustomed to in Bari, Italy, as a child. During the week of Thanksgiving, Benvenuto takes a trip down memory lane to count his many blessings. “I’m thankful I was given the opportunity to be in this country,” he said. “My family, my newfound faith and my job are what I’m most thankful for of all things, and I found all of that here in the states.” From age 6 to 10, Benvenuto spent nine months out of the year at a lower-level boarding school because his parents couldn’t afford to feed him and his sister throughout the year. While there, he was often the victim of stealing and unreasonable searches for missing items. But, back at home, for three months, he would spend most of the day, as a kid, on the farm with his dad, who was a migrant farm worker. Then, in 1960, when John F. Kennedy reopened the borders after World War II, Benvenuto’s dad set in order the process for his family to move to the states. SEE LIFE PAGE 16A

A ‘NEW’ BIKE FOR CHRISTMAS Growing up in a poor home, Benvenuto’s father found a bicycle in the dumpster and gave it to his sister. Then, for every Christmas, his father would paint it and give it to another child over and over again. Although they knew it was the same bike, the children were thankful and didn’t mind.

Murder at Matanzas? Don’t worry, it’s not a real one. See why students are excited about forensics.

ambulance service, and Flagler County has resisted granting the go-ahead to Palm Coast. That might soon change — Sen. Travis Hutson and Rep. Paul Renner have filed legislation to give cities more opportunities to go their own way — and the city is considering its options. “All I want here is to look at, fairly and reasonably, how to reduce the cost, if possible, to the residents of Palm Coast,” City Councilman Steve Nobile said at the workshop. The city got 8,040 calls for service last year, Beadle said,and had an average response time of 6.25 minutes for the medical calls and 6.44 overall. Beadle spelled out some possible options: The city could change its response protocols, he said, so that a “medical” call, for instance would come in with more information that would help emergency responders prepare for the patient. The city could also use “jump trucks” — small emergency services vehicles that look more like pickup trucks with campers than like ambulances or fire trucks — in order to handle the EMS calls. The problem with that idea, he said, is that any staff members on the jump truck would then be unavailable if an actual fire call came in. They would have to return the jump truck to the station and switch to an actual fire truck before heading out again. To be fully staffed, the city would have to hire more EMS workers. The city could also add ambulances at each of its fire stations.

“My goal is not to shift

SEVEN OPTIONS

the burden to somebody

1. Change response protocols

else. My goal is to everybody.” JON NETTS, Palm Coast mayor

Or, he said, the city could change the tax structure to lessen taxes on city residents — an approach that would likely shift more of the burden to the county. Other possibilities include consolidating the city/county services into one entity, or improving coordination between the city and county so that the city doesn’t need to run fire trucks on a medical call. Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts suggested the city and county meet about the issue. “My goal is not to shift the burden to somebody else. My goal is to reduce the burden for everybody,” he said. County Administrator Craig Coffey, who attended the meeting along with County Fire Chief Don Petito and County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin, said he’d heard some proposals he could work with the city on. City Manager Jim Landon said the two administrations would meet, then arrange for a meeting between the City Council and County Commission.

The city began to provide Advanced Life Support nontransport service in 2004. The county might need more staffing to take more calls without the city.

3. Use alternative vehicles for EMS calls “Jump trucks” could be used to respond to EMS calls. With only the existing staff, the fire engine would then be out of service during EMS calls. With additional staff, the engine would be able to respond to other calls while jump trucks are in use.

4. Rescue vehicles placed in all stations There are five alternatives: the county provides the rescue vehicle and county staff; the county provides the rescue vehicle with existing city staff;

Create a Municipal Service Taxing Unit to fund fire/EMS services, which could eliminate the need for city residents to pay for city fire/EMS services plus countywide fire/EMS.

6. Consolidate city and county fire/EMS Union contracts, pay scales and retirement plans would have to be worked out. It’s not clear how this option would affect taxes or level of service.

7. Improve city-county coordination The city and county could hold monthly coordination meetings to address issues, review data, establish long range plans. City staff could ride on a county rescue/ambulance, eliminating the need to run a fire engine to a medical call. EMTs/paramedics could go on medical calls while firefighters remained at the station to run the engines. Adapted from a city staff report.

Students help the homeless Teens in the i3 Academy organize campuswide project JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

THANKSGIVING DINNER LIKE GRANDMA MAKES

One ESE class at Old Kings Elementary prepared a holiday meal for their families. JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

O

ne hallway at Old Kings Elementary smelled like grandma’s house on Thanksgiving. The aroma of turkey, ham, potatoes, and green bean salad wafted from Lynette Monahan’s ESE classroom. But it wasn’t Thursday, it was Monday, Nov. 23, and the students were working on one of their life skills projects — making a Thanksgiving dinner for their families. “Life skills are part of our curriculum,” Monahan said. “Making a turkey is a big job, and if it wasn’t for these two women, we wouldn’t be having this,” Monahan said referring to Sandra Sanderson and Debbie Verilla. These two mothers of students in the classroom, along with donations from other parents and Monahan, brought the ingredients for the meal from store to table, and put the family event together in just a few short days. Monahan said that with the help of parents, student teacher Tara Cieri and paraprofessionals Martha Company and Tracey Hodges, along with a donation of a turkey from Harris Grocery and a gift card for the ham from Walmart in Palm Coast, the meal she wanted her children to create became a reality. “It was important to have this meal because everyone has Thanksgiving with their families,” Monahan said. “This class is a family too. It was a chance

for everybody to get together and get to know each other.” For Daytona State College student Cieri, who dressed in pilgrim garb for the occasion, it was a chance to do some learning herself. “I would like to be an elementary school teacher,” Cieri said. “I am in the ESE class to learn how to work with different kinds of students.” The tables were set for 35-40 dinner guests, including parents, siblings and some OKES staff. Off to the side, another member of the class, Bunny E Rabbit enjoyed some kale added to his bowl by one of the students. “This is the best day ever,” student Jacyee Mitchell told everyone.

Cierra Miller and Daniel Jordon cut vegetables for the salad they served.

Congress could take lessons from the students in the i3 Academy at Flagler Palm Coast High School — lessons on how to tackle and complete a project in record time. The academy students participated in a “break out” program, spending one week focusing on one issue. The issue was homelessness in Flagler County. “In each classroom, we focused on a different thing,” student Logan Johnson said. “I was in Mr. M’s class (John Mastropierro), and we put boxes all around FPC. We collected $53.33 for the free clinic in Bunnell.” The weeklong project was kicked off with presentations that brought home the seriousness of the situation. “Coach Bossardet (assistant principal Robert Bossardet), came in to talk to us and told us there were 47 students at FPC that are homeless,” student Haylie Shiflett said. “We wanted to help, and so we filled boxes with things they could use. They’re family; they’re part of our school.” The group learned that these classmates are considered homeless because they do not have a defined place to live. “They may have people they can stay with, but it’s not their home,” Haylie said. Logan described the project as an “eye-opener,” and it was, on many levels. Not only did the students research and learn about the problem, they learned firsthand the challenges of enlisting the help of others, especially businesses. They also learned that there are always those willing to rise to the challenge. “We were making boxes to fill with health products,” Haylie said. “We called different stores and a dentist office to see if they would donate toothbrushes and toothpaste. The dentist office was the most helpful; the others had to call someone else (for permission).” The biggest donors were the staff and students at the academy and on the FPC campus. “Right from the beginning we decided to make 60 boxes — 47 for our own students,” Haylie said. “The students donated also, and we ended up with twice as many toothbrushes and toothpaste than we needed and donated the extra to the S.T.U.F.F. Bus.” Coordination of services was something that Emily Morris’ group found lacking for the homeless students. “We focused on mental health and substance abuse, and created a website and consolidated all of the information on where to go, like the free health clinic and shelters around the area, to get help,” Emily said. The information was also included on a pamphlet created by another group for distribution throughout the county, and included in the boxes given to the Sheltering Tree in Bunnell.

City Council considers salary increase Should they get a raise? Benefits?

“For other potential candidates, it might be just that thing that says, ‘You know what, I can do that,

NOVEMBER

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Despite some strident pushback from the community, the Palm Coast City Council may still raise its members’ salaries. The original proposal brought forth weeks ago by Councilman Steve Nobile — that the council increase its members’ salaries from their current $9,600 per year ($11,400 for Mayor Jon Netts) to a rate equal to 70%-80% of county commissioners’ $50,916 per year salaries — didn’t get much support at a City Council workshop Nov. 24. Nobile said he’d gotten some angry resident emails about it, as well as some more supportive ones. But council members expressed interest in a somewhat more modest plan that would align their pay with the salary of the city’s lowest

paid full time worker: currently, about $23,300 per year. “The idea is not to pay the council members for they work,” Nobile said. “The idea is to compensate them to free up the time to do the work. I equate it to a pastor in the church. You don’t pay the pastor to be spiritual. You pay him to have the time to work his flock.” Nobile said that when he spoke to younger people, in their 30s and 40s, about going into politics, many said they felt they couldn’t afford to. Councilman Bill McGuire asked Mayor Netts how the city had decided on council member pay when the city incorporated in 1999. “Arbitrarily,” Netts said. “So much that went into that first City Charter was designed to encourage people to support it, so they picked a low number.” Council members will discuss council pay, and the possibility of benefits for council members, at a future meeting. Any raise the council approves would not take effect, as per the City Charter, until after the next election.

“Forget about what they pay in DeLand and Fort Lauderdale. What should this job be worth? I mean, we have no way of measuring it, so any number we pick is an arbitrary one.” BILL McGUIRE, Palm Coast city councilman

“In my first years, I think I would have been more passionate for this. I think at first I was like , ‘Wow, this is a tremendous amount of work.’ … I think over time, I kind of navigate it better, manage my time a little better, have more institutional knowledge.” JASON DeLORENZO, Palm Coast city councilman

Bunnell woman charged with manslaughter in uncle’s death She’d left the man, who was disabled, alone for days. NEWS EDITOR

A 34-year-old Bunnell woman is facing an aggravated manslaughter charge in connection with the 2013 death of her elderly uncle, who was disabled and relied on her for home care. The woman, Holly Lyn Norris, was originally charged with elderly neglect. The state upgraded the charges Nov. 23 after deputies determined that she had left the victim, 67-year-old John L. Satanoski, alone for days when a deputy doing a welfare check found him unresponsive. Deputies arrested Norris after she turned herself in. Satanoski came to the attention of the Sheriff’s Office when an employee at the adult daycare he attended became worried when he didn’t show up for several days, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. A deputy who went to the house April 25, 2013, found all the doors locked, but slipped in through an unlocked window and found Satanoski unresponsive on the bedroom floor. The deputy called Norris, who had power of attorney over Satanoski, and told her that her uncle had been hospitalized. The deputy was notified May 9, 2013, that Satanoski had died at the hospital. To determine whether the case was suspicious, the deputy went to the Norris home on County

Road 305. Norris told the deputy that she lived there with Satanoski and with her 3-year-old. She gave the deputy some prescription meds to get rid of. The deputy contacted an adult daycare worker, who said Satanoski had attended for years, for eight hours a day, and that Norris dropped him off and picked him up. She said that she’d called Norris out of concern when Satanoski didn’t show up for three days. Norris, she said, said that Satanoski was fine and that she hadn’t taken him because she’d been in a car crash that had disabled her car. The daycare had a bus for customers, but Norris said she was fine and didn’t need it. As the days went by and Satanoski still didn’t arrive, the employee, unable to reach Norris, grew worried. She’s asked Norris to put Satanoski in a living facility for constant care, but Norris had refused, the employees said. Norris told the deputy that she’d been caring for her uncle consistently. But a male friend serving jail time spoke to the deputy and said that Norris had spent several days and nights with him and his girlfriend at his Bunker View Lane home. The man’s girlfriend corroborated his story. Circuit Judge David Walsh signed a warrant for Norris’ arrest on a charge of aggravated manslaughter of an elderly disabled adult on Nov. 20.

Holly Norris turned herself in.

Giving thanks for awkward family moments

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

To celebrate our wedding anniversary — and just because I’m a romantic kind of guy — I bought a present for

my wife, Hailey. “Do you want me to wrap it?” I asked. She knows me very well, so she said not to bother. I draped a picnic blanket over the gift, but, before the unveiling, sensing that a teaching moment was in the works, I assembled my children — two sons and two daughters — to the living room so that they could watch their mother “open” the present. I started out, as I am wont to do, with a speech.

“Today is an important day for all of us,” I said. “On this day, 13 years ago, your mother and I were married, and so, our family officially began.” My oldest son, Jackson, 11, interrupted me. “Sorry,” he said, as he ran to the kitchen and back. He had to pause his timer so that this sacred moment didn’t count against his video game time. I continued: “I wanted you all to be here to watch Mom open her presents so that you could know how much I love her.”

Grant, 9, in an obnoxiously loud whisper, said, “This is getting awkward.” “And,” I said, undeterred, “so that you will someday love your families just as much. I am very thankful for all of you.” Happy Thanksgiving, Palm Coast! May your holiday be memorable, and may we all learn to love each other more perfectly. Email Brian McMillan at editor@palmcoastobserver. com.

MANY GIVING THANKS

LET TERS

Thanks to everyone who is working to make this a great place to live, especially at this time of year. One of these groups is the KKids and Builder’s Club at Imagine School at Town Center, who collected food and passed out flyers on Nov. 19, at the new Island Walk Publix, helping to provide Thanksgiving meals for struggling families at Imagine School at Town Center. The goal was to raise $100 in funds and one cart full of groceries, and they reached it and more, collecting three carts full of food, nine turkeys and over $400 in cash and Publix gift cards. The students also donated $200 to Imagine School and Town Center’s Bountiful Backpacks program, which sends food home over the weekend for less fortunate families.

School bus cameras are last things we need

Civility should still apply in letters

Dear Editor: Flagler County has been blessed with a wonderful educational tool: The Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Given that 90% of a child’s brain is fully developed by age 5, we all have an obligation to invest in this most important demographic group. Many of today’s problems could be greatly reduced if we are proactive and “fertilize” young brains during these decisive first few years. The Flagler Imagination Library is provided free to all children under age 5 who live in Flagler County. After a child is registered for the program, an age-appropriate book is mailed to the child each month. Currently, almost 1,100 Flagler County children are receiving DPIL books, and the stories that their families tell about reading, bonding and sharing are always filled with happiness and gratitude. Won’t you please help by supporting The Flagler Imagination Library? Your one-time gift or annual pledge will ensure that books are delivered to every Flagler child for many years to come. You can go online to donate at flaglerimaginationlibrary. org or mail your check payable to: “The Flagler County Education Foundation” (write “DPIL” in the memo area), FCEF (DPIL), 1769 E. Moody Blvd. Building 2, Bunnell, Fla., 32110. Or, email jb@jbirneyfinancial.com.

Dear Editor: Mayor Jon Netts wants to stick us now with school bus cameras. This is the same leadership who has given us the much-hated red light cameras, and the highly unsuccessful enterprise-funded Palm Harbor Golf Club and city tennis center. Oh, did I forget the new City Hall that was built despite previous voter defeat? Like red light cameras, school bus cameras are yet another fraud designed to enrich a few vendors and governments at the expense of drivers. This is easy to research, so why does the mayor (and, no doubt, others) think they can pull off yet another scam on us? Did you know that the majority of children hurt/ killed in school bus accidents were hit by the actual school buses? Maybe the cameras should be on the school buses themselves via a long “selfie” stick! Problems with drivers passing stopped school buses could be lessened by such measures as having school buses pull off main roads to load/unload and to make it clear (and reasonable) when the “no passing” laws on four-lane divided roadways apply. The last thing we need are more robo-cops that can only make money (at the cost to our citizens and economy) by fleecing motorists a la Boss Hogg and Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane of the “Dukes of Hazard.”

Dear Editor: What ever happened to civility? Three of the five letters printed in the Palm Coast Observer on Nov. 19 were nothing more than personal attacks upon Councilman Steve Nobile. While I personally disagree with “living wages” for council members, I was able to state my opposition in logical fashion without resorting to personal attacks and name-calling. Is it extremist to care about following the Constitution of the United States (which is the focus of the Tea Party)? Is it extremist to exercise your Second Amendment rights? I have spoken to Councilman Nobile on several occasions, and I have found him to be an intelligent, level-headed, hard-working man who sincerely cares about the city of Palm Coast.

How much should they be earning? Dear Editor: According to the letters on Nov. 19, we give the county commissioners $50,000 per year! Please note that I didn’t say “the commissioners earn $50,000” per year. They get that much for tuning over a shovel full of dirt occasionally; that’s all I ever see them do. Maybe I’m wrong; they have been known to extort money from people who want to build hotels, and they buy

overpriced land for unneeded and unused parks from friends and relatives. Every corporation that I worked for paid you what they deemed you were worth. You didn’t vote yourself raises, you earned them. As a superintendent, my job was to build the best product at the lowest cost, or else. From a consumer’s point of view, I have figured out what our elected officials are actually worth. The county commissioners: $2,000 per year and a parking place at the county courthouse. The City Council members: $2,001 per year and a $5 weekly stipend for coffee and donuts. The mayor: $80,000 per year, because we are going to get rid of the city manager, and the mayor will do the job he was elected to do: run the city! The sheriff: $40,000 per year, because he won’t have much to do after we get a police chief and police force like a city of this size should have! The School Board: If they were paid for what they have accomplished, they would owe us about $45,782.50 per month.

SOMEONE’S NOT SMELLING THE ROSES 11:04 a.m. 300 block of Palm Coast Parkway. Larceny: The property manager of an office complex called the Sheriff’s Office after someone stole about $200 worth of flowers from flower beds throughout the complex. The property manager showed a deputy a flower bed “in which it was evident the area had been planted and now the area was left bare of all flowers,” the deputy wrote in a report. There had been previous thefts in the area, and the Sheriff’s Office is adding an extra watch.

COPS CART OFF WANNA-BE CART TAKER 3:56 p.m. 100 block of Cypress Point Parkway. Physical disturbance: A 74-year-old man and his wife were eating at a restaurant inside a local big box store when a 62-year-old man came over and tried to take the electric store cart the wife had been using and had parked next to their table. The 74-year-old man told the 62-year-old that his wife was using the cart, and the 62-yearold shoved the older man to the ground. A store employee told the 62-year-old to leave, and he drove off in a white Cadillac. Deputies reviewed the footage — which showed the younger man shove the older man — and arrested the 62-year-old man for battery on a person 65 or older.

HOOKED ON CRIME 10:13 a.m. First block of Old Oak Drive South. Burglary to a vessel: A 69-year-old man left four fishing rods out on his boat on his boat lift, and when he went outside the next day, they were gone. The rods were: two Penn salt rod/reel combos each worth about $175, a Shimano rod with a Penn reel valued at $200, and a Berkley rod with a Michel reel worth about $75. The man called the Sheriff’s Office the next day, and a deputy canvassed the area but didn’t find anything suspicious. It wasn’t clear to the deputy if the thief got to the boat by land or from the canal.

The following is a news release from the city of Palm Coast communications office: Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts on Thursday announced his support for Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s proposed reforms for Enterprise Florida, including the creation of the Florida Enterprise Fund. “Enterprise Florida and the incentives offered are integral to helping Palm Coast fulfill the goals of Prosperity 2021, our economic development plan, and attract companies to grow our local economy,” Netts said. “Coastal Cloud, AVEO Engineering, Palm Coast Data, and Designs for Health are all companies that located or expanded operations in our community due to our partnership with Enterprise Florida. These reforms will continue to help diversify our economy and create even more great jobs.” The Governor’s proposals endorsed by Enterprise Florida include: n Creating a new $250 million competitive fund called the “Florida Enterprise Fund.” n Increasing the Legislature’s role in competing for job creation projects by requiring that any deal over $1 million have the approval of the Speaker of the House and the Senate President, as well as the Governor. 0002039835 Visit enterpriseflorida.com/ contactyourlegislator for information.

Palm Coast, Flagler County at odds over 800 MHz radio service The city wants out of an interlocal agreement signed in 2009.

would be an overstatement.”

Flagler County says the city of Palm Coast owes it $600,000 in payments for a shared radio system. Palm Coast says it doesn’t, because, city officials said, the county hasn’t consulted with the city before undertaking costly upgrades. The county, on the other hand, says the city wasn’t charged for those upgrades, and that the city is confused. And at this point, Palm Coast wants out of its agreement with the county entirely. And it wants $900,000 it has already paid — part of $1.5 million the city is to

On Friday, Nov. 13, Palm Coast City Attorney Bill Reischmann emailed Flagler County Attorney Al Hadeed (and CC’d Palm Coast city staff, Mayor Jon Netts and

each City Council member), writing that although the interlocal agreement between the city and the county “recognizes the need of an expansion,” it also requires the city be allowed to participate in the process for expanding the program, with a voting representative on the county’s selection committee. “If this has occurred, the City is unaware of this,” Reis-

WHO’S PAYING FOR WHAT?

Not so, according to the county. “I am unsure of who has given you the information in support of your emailed position, but to say the information is partially accurate would be an overstatement,” County Administrator Craig Coffey wrote in a Nov. 19 letter addressed to Reischmann. The 800 MHz system isn’t a “consolidated system,” Coffey said, but a Flagler County system that was magnanimously extended to city use through the agreement. “Through this Agreement we welcomed the City and made it financially attractive to come onto the County’s system,” he wrote, until the city of Palm Coast became the system’s “largest end user with approximately 450 devices/users. The County sacrificed existing user capacity and gave the City access to a wallet radio system with no ongoing system costs and for a minimal capital cost.” The city ran its own radio system until 2009, when it signed an interlocal agreement with the county to join the 800 MHz system. The agreement states that a “Phase II” expansion would be needed, and required the city to place $300,000 per year in a escrow account to help cover the cost of the upraise. But the city only did that for three years. On Nov. 13, 2013, in an email to the county’s payment clerk, City Manager Jim Landon wrote that the city would no longer pay into the system — at least, not “until a new plan has been approved. Two years later, Reischmann sent his email, demanding the $600,000 back. But the allegation that the county has sprung for an expansion without the city is untrue, Coffey wrote. ‘WE ARE GOOD EITHER WAY’

chmann wrote. Instead, he wrote, “the County indicated that it was seeking to upgrade the parties’ consolidated 800 MHz Radio System in a manner inconsistent with and involution of this Interlocal Agreement, to wit: an upgrade costing up to $20,000,000. Indeed, Flagler County has advised that this will not be an upgrade at all but rather a new system.”

The county has undertaken various improvements, like getting new towers. And it bought five radio frequencies, but — yielding to a city request — did so without city funds, he wrote. “This may be where some of the larger numbers that are being discussed are coming from,” Coffey wrote. But, he wrote, “These projects are entirely at the County’s ... expense and are solely a Board of County Commissioners decision.” Coffey noted that Landon, in his 2013 email, seemed to have confused aspects of the county’s New World CAD data system with the 800 MHz system. At this point, Coffey wrote, the city can adhere to the agreement and pay the money owed, or it can take action as a City Council to request a refund of the $900,000 that has been paid to the escrow. However, Coffey warned, if the city withdraws from the agreement, “radio users from the City will be generally limited to emergency first responders. Conversely, if you desire to adhere to the Agreement, please pay the amount required. We are good either way. There is no need to make the outlandish accusations in the email.”

Flagler schools, Flagler Auditorium plan for the future Flagler Auditorium needs funding to bring it back to the state-of-the-art facility it once was. DECK THE HALLS AND WALLS

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Lisa McDevitt and Jacob Oliva sat side by side at the head of the table at the School Board joint workshop with the Flagler Auditorium governing board. School Board members and the rest of the governing board occupied every available spot around the table. McDevitt briefly went over the role of the auditorium and the services they provide, services that go beyond providing entertainment. “The biggest mission is to invest in arts and education,” McDevitt said. “We are pretty much handson with all of the students. We use it as a classroom five times a day, and we provide scholarships and grants.” The 1,100-seat auditorium was built on the campus of Flagler Palm Coast high school 25 years ago with a public bond referendum. Now, with no expectations of a second referendum or even an approved tax increase, the two groups opened discussions on ways to pay for improvements and upgrades to return the auditorium to the state-of-the-art facility it once was. “I see a big demand for growth for the arts programs within the school district,” McDevitt said. She was referring to the FPC

Decorated Christmas trees and wreaths will be on display and for sale from Nov. 9. through Dec. 27 at the Flagler Auditorium. The trees and wreaths are sponsored by local businesses and organizations in Flagler County to support Arts in Education. The proceeds from this event allow the Flagler Auditorium to provide grants and funding for arts programs in local schools and benefit students year-round. To sponsor a tree or wreath, call 437-7547.

At a joint workshop prior to the school board meeting, the Flagler Auditorium Governing Board and the Flagler County School Board discussed needed repairs and updates for the auditorium.

band program, which has doubled in participants in the past few years and is expected to continue to grow, and the Flagler Youth Orchestra, whose numbers are also swelling. “This is a unique facility and a teaching opportunity for students of all ages,” she said. The needs ranged from staffing (according to the auditorium website there are five on the payroll, including janitorial) and expanding the lobby and restrooms, to lighting and parking. The staff relies heavily on its 125 volunteers, which include the governing board.

“Updating equipment is my first priority,” McDevitt said. “Lighting is at the top of that list.” Governing Board President Richard Hamilton expressed concern about what he did not see in the school district’s strategic planning — reference to the auditorium or arts in education. Colleen Conklin, School Board chairwoman, assured the governing board that the district does support the arts. “No one wants to change your mission,” Conklin said. “This is about opening dialogue. By our actions we are a district that supports the arts.” Both groups agreed a committee comprised of governing board and school board members needs to be formed to identify and prioritize auditorium needs, and explore funding avenues. “We will have to look at some capital dollars,” Oliva said. “This

Flagler Beach OKs Ocean Palm Golf Club agreement In a Nov. 20 City Commission meeting punctuated by audience applause, Flagler Beach finalized its contract with the company that plans to revitalize the Ocean Palm Golf Club. “I really appreciate the way that we’ve come together with the commission,” Flagler Golf Management spokesman Terrence McManus said at the meeting. “I’m receiving mail at my home already from people in the community sending everything from their opinion, advice, ‘How can I help,’ you know, starting to form a golf committee and everything like that. As I said from the outset, it’s not necessarily about the dollar. It feels good when everyone’s on the same page. … I really greatly appreciate the opportunity.” The City Commission had already given Flagler Golf Management — whose registered agents are McManus and his cousin, Flagler Beach resident Duane McDaniel — the city’s initial approval to take over the

DESIGNS FOR HEALTH TO STAY IN TOWN, EXPAND The Flagler County Economic Opportunity Advisory Council and the city of Palm Coast have announced that Designs for Health, a company that provides nutritional supplements to health care professionals, is expanding its operation in Flagler County. The company is being relocated to 6 Commerce Park Drive in Palm Coast. The company is investing $3 million in site acquisition course in a vote Nov. 5. The 4-0 Nov. 20 vote (Commissioner Steve Settle was absent) finalized the arrangement, with some amendments to the contract. The changes include the addition of a revenue threshold of $200,000 gross per year that Flagler Golf Management will have to meet in order to extend the lease beyond 15 years.

and upgrades and creating an additional 50 jobs in five years. Average wage is anticipated to be $33,000/year. When faced with the need to accommodate the growth, the management team considered all the options, including relocating out of Flagler County. Phil Lizotte, vice president of D4H, led the selection process and worked closely with Helga van Eckert, executive director of the county’s Department of Economic Opportunit, and Margaret Sheehan-Jones, of ParkSide Realty.

Senior Nysean Giddens, who missed the majority of last season with a broken foot, led the Bulldogs with 25 points and 16 rebounds. Jawan Davis had 16 points and three assists; Ga’Qwuawn Rogers tallied 11 points and three blocks.

T

he Flagler Palm Coast Bulldogs (1-0) began their season with a 77-49 trouncing of the Seabreeze Sandcrabs Tuesday, Nov. 24, at FPC. “We were playing with a lot of intensity, a lot of energy early, and it worked for us until we had to settle into the game,” coach Gary McDaniel said. “We played with a lot of intensity and a lot of energy but not a lot of brains. Once I got them to slow down, and we

got everything in front of us, the game changed, and it kept changing, and it worked out for us.” The Bulldogs opened the game with a 9-3 lead, but the Sandcrabs’ defensed forced numerous turnovers, which led to a 10-0 run to close out the quarter to put them up 13-9. In the second quarter, FPC settled down, and both teams took turns leading until halftime, when the Bulldogs went into the locker room with a 29-26 advantage. The second half belonged to FPC, which used an 18-0 run to

separate itself from the ’Crabs, and ended up leading by as many as 30 points before sending in its reserves. “I think we’ll continue to get better each game,” McDaniel said. “It was a good crowd here, and that kind of made the kids want to make plays a little bit more, but I think they’ll settle down and start playing Bulldogs basketball, and I think we’ll really get going.” FPC plays next in the Matanzas Kiwanis Shootout, which will take place Friday and Saturday at Matanzas.

rowing up with an absentee father meant I never once looked in the stands to see my father looking down on me with admiration. Knowing that so many other young kids go through similar circumstances, my heart always go out to them. As a boy, it seems to be even more important to have Dad in your corner, as opposed to Mom, because boys become men, and dads. Mothers can’t teach young boys all there is to know about manhood, so we strive for that relationship with our fathers, or father figures, no matter their mistakes. I see this in Flagler Palm Coast’s Nysean Giddens. Tuesday’s game was the first time his dad, Eric, watched him play in three years, since his release from prison. Nysean and I have been talking about that day for nearly a year, and, watching him play, I could see the nerves get to him early on. But, when he settled in, his dad witnessed one of the best players in the area drop 25 points and 16 rebounds in the first game of the Nysean Giddens season. Back in his freshman year, when his dad was sent off, Nysean said he felt lost: “Everything happened so fast, and I didn’t know what to feel ... All my life, my dad been telling me to go down the right path and don’t mess up like he did in high school.” He says people often tell him that his father was one of the best basketball players to ever play at FPC, but he messed up and fell in the streets. Living in a bad neighborhood in Bunnell, Nysean regularly sees the drugs and violence that have taken so many lives and ended potential careers, but he’s doing everything in his power to avoid those potholes, and he hopes to reach college and help his family move to a better environment. “My senior year is here, and my dad is finally home and on the right path, and I’m ready to show him that I will not make the mistakes he’s made,” Nysean said. “I’m feeling healthier than ever and ready to lead my team to Lakeland.” With his father, now, in his corner to cheer him on, I hope Nysean not only leads his team to the promised land, but I hope he eventually leads his family there, too.

Life in the states: a future for the family FROM PAGE 1

“The process took eight years,” Benvenuto said. “My father almost gave up on coming over, but he felt, to give us an advantage in life, the best thing was for us to come over.” Then 15 years old, living in America but not able to speak any English, Benvenuto experienced early culture shock. “I went from living on a farm without any neighbors to living on Long Island, New York, with houses one on top of another,” he said. “I went from a school with a couple hundred kids to a school with 1,000 kids.” Soccer, though was one language in which Benvenuto was fluent, and he played in high school up to his senior year, when he injured his back. Not able to shoot for a soccer scholarship, he pursued an interpreter’s degree. After graduating and not finding any work, he went into the food business, ultimately moving to Florida and running a pizza business for 16 years before selling it.

Tony Benvenuto’s daughter, Bella, currently starts as the Pirates’ goal keeper.

In those latter years, a couple of his children grew an interest in playing soccer in a local recreation league, and he knew they weren’t being coached properly, by volunteer parents. “That spurred the drive for me to coach and train kids how to play the game,” he said. After coaching his boys’ youth teams, Benvenuto sought a posi-

tion coaching older kids at the high school level, so he talked to Ken Seybold, who was the Matanzas athletics director at the time, and he told him that it would be easier for him to get a position coaching if he worked for the county. “I asked him what the need was, and he told me they needed a foreign language teacher,” Ben-

venuto said. “I thought that was a blessing because, from the time I graduated college to actually using my degree was 25 years.” Now, with four kids and Mary, his wife, Benvenuto has settled in the country and has found his niche, teaching and mentoring young adults through soccer, one of his first loves. “First, I’m just thankful my parents waited out the process and didn’t take any shortcuts, so I was able to come here legally with a green card,” he said. “That allowed me and the rest of my siblings to have a good future.” As an immigrant, Benvenuto believes he and other immigrants view this country a lot differently from those in today’s generation who never experienced such humble beginnings. “There is an entitlement mentality, my kids included,” he said. “I see it in the students all day long. I feel that our country has changed, where we went from people working to get what they have to where our children feel that they’re entitled to get certain things because their parents

work hard. Because I was told ‘no’ so many times, it tugs at my heart to say no to my kids. It’s hard because I was deprived of a lot of things, so it hurts me to deprive them of things. But, that’s just coming from an immigrant.” Coach Benvenuto and the Matanzas Lady Pirates will next be in action at home against St. Augustine at 7:20 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7, at Matanzas.

‘ELF ON THE SHELF’ Old Kings Elementary students enjoy a visit from author Carol Aebersold and learn what it takes to write a book.

Carol Aebersold said her childhood elf doll, which was the inspiration for the book, is named Pancake. He still sits in her office.

‘Elf on the Shelf’ co-author Carol Aebersold signed copies of the book for OKES students Aaralyn Weeks, Austin Weeks, and Ethan Aromanda.

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Special guests at school are always a treat, but when the guest has ties to the North Pole, you better be on your best behavior. Carol Aebersold, co-author of “Elf on the Shelf,” visited Old Kings Elementary on Thursday, Nov. 19, to read to the children, sign books and explain a little bit about how she and her daughter, co-author Chanda Bell, wrote the book. Aebersold, who lives in Palm Coast, explained to the children how she rewrites her books many times before they are ready to be published. There has always been an elf on Aebersold’s shelf. “I had an elf as a child, and then I got married and it came with me, and my children grew up with it,” Aebersold said. “One day my grownup child said, ‘We should write this down and share our tradition with everybody.’” That comment evolved into a TV special that is shown throughout the holiday season, a float in the Macy’s Day Parade, and a sequel, “An Elf on the Shelf: A Birthday Tradition.” Pinterest has pages

dedicated to the bright-eyed elf, suggesting that kids aren’t the only ones who enjoy his annual visits. For aspiring author Austin Weeks, son of Kim Weeks, who organized the event, the books were great, but what he really liked was meeting the author. “I liked the signing books at the end,” he said. “It’s pretty cool to have the author sign the book.” Aebersold works with her twin daughters, co-author Chanda Bell and Christa Pitts, a former QVC host, who now runs the business end of things.

“I worked in an ad agency and I used to be a music teacher,” she said. “One of my daughters has a degree in broadcast communication, and she had a close friend who is an animator, so we pulled him in. This is very much a family thing.” The book comes with an elf — an elf with no name. The “adopter” gives the elf a name and registers him, or her, on elfontheshelf.com. Once registered, the elf receives his Christmas magic that allows him to fly to the North Pole every night to tell Santa Claus who has been naughty and nice. Each morning, the scout elf returns home, showing up in different places, and watches as the children search for him. Aebersold said her childhood elf, Pancake, sits in her office. “He comes back every Thanksgiving, and he still has his magic,” she said.

My house was the gathering place for Thanksgiving meals. My family, my sister and her family, my parents, step-parents, and, of course, our pets, would gather for way too much food and to create stories for the future. I would like to preface what I am about to write with the fact that I am a good cook. It isn’t my fault that one year I cooked the bird upside down (which did not change the taste), or that another year a cracked heating coil wasn’t detected until the half-cooked bird was sliced. And, it isn’t all that hard to confuse dried catnip for dried parsley. The Thanksgiving of interest for this story was particularly special: It was six weeks and four days after I had given birth to my third child – a son who thought sleep was only an option. I don’t recall anyone saying, “Hey, we can have it at our house this year.” No, they all showed up, right on schedule. My first tip that perhaps the

1 cup of butter 2 cups diced celery 1 1/2 cups chopped onions 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley 2 1/4 tsps salt 2 tsps poultry seasoning 1/4 tsp black pepper 16 cups lightly packed fresh bread cubes 3 eggs slightly beaten 40 minutes before using (longer if you have to knock a cat off the counter) In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook celery and onions in butter until tender. Add parsley, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper; mix well. Beat eggs and add with bread and fold into the mixture well. This should make enough for an 8- to 11-pound turkey, about eight cups.

It was wonderful, they told me, and many were going back for seconds. My husband, Mark, asked why I had added mint to the recipe this year. He does not like mint. I said I hadn’t, but I did add dried parsley from our garden. “We didn’t grow parsley this year,” Mark said. Forks froze in mid-air, hovering between open mouths and practically clean plates.

The gallery is a source of inspiration for local and up-and-coming artists. “Petra and I are excited to see Salvo Art make it to the one-year marker,” Salvo Art Project CoFounder J.J. Graham said. “As time passes we look back and say, ‘We followed our hearts and we still love what we do.’” Graham and co-founder Petra Iston agree that keeping plans down to a minimum has helped shape the atmosphere at Salvo Art. “We strive to keep the future of Salvo Art spontaneous and hopefully, by doing so, keep the curiosity of the public,” she said. Many of the artists who have a studio inside the facility have been at Salvo Art since the beginning. “I am a realist in a sea of expressionism, and I feel my art has progressed since being at Salvo Art,” artist Weldon Ryan said. “Having

fellow artists working close by, we feed off each other’s energy and can bounce ideas off each other.” Salvo Art continues to grow and prosper, with a long waiting list of artists still trying to obtain studio space at the facility. “We are very particular about which artists we invite to have studio space here at Salvo Art,” Graham said. “We only accept unpretentious artists. This place is about the process of being creative and getting dirty to produce art within a comfortable atmosphere where artists can just be themselves.” “As artists, we all speak the same language,” said artist Linda Solomon. “We are privileged to work in such a beautiful space, all the artists support each other and help one another grow.”

Linda Solomon has been an artist at the Salvo Art Project since the beginning.

Flagler Beach Montessori School students Gianna Mauro and Ciara Parler check out the Waves4 Water filter.

Charlotte Carroll, a second grade student, proudly wears her hand-designed shirt to support the Waves4Water fundraiser.

A WALK FOR CLEAN WATER STAFF WRITER

All the students at the Flagler Beach Montessori School participated in a walk-a-thon Friday, Nov. 20, to help raise money for the Waves for Water Foundation. Together, the 42 students raised $1,000. The money will be used to send 20 water filtration systems to communities in need of clean water.

Each filtration system can clean 1 million gallons of water, which will provide clean drinking water to 100 people for five years. The filter attaches to a bucket and by itself is light and versatile, weighing only 3 ounces. The bucket can be filled with water from any source, the filter will remove protozoan and bacteria’s which will make the water clean to drink. Flagler Beach Montessori School student Ryan Huckabee

Since the start of the Waves for Water foundation, 100,000 filtration systems have been distributed internationally, helping 7.5 million people receive clean drinking water. Waves for Water founder Jon Rose said, “My goal is to give every single person clean water.” Source: wavesforwater.org

Ryan Huckabee and his family visited Nicaragua last year to bring water filtration systems to those in need.

185508

The Flagler Beach Montessori School raised $1,000 to donate to the Waves for Water foundation, which will provide countries in need with filtration systems that produce clean drinking water.

visited Nicaragua, with his family, in August 2014, to deliver filtration systems to schools in need. “It is rewarding to help others who are not as fortunate as ourselves,” Ryan Huckabee said. “It changes your life when you see the poor living conditions these people live in,” teacher Kerri Huckabee, and Ryan’s mother, said. “As Americans, we are dripping with excessive resources. Many cannot imagine what being truly poor is like. These people in other countries may not even have access to vital resources to keep them alive for another day.” The Huckabee family has partnered with the Flagler Beach Montessori School to create “Miraculous Montessori Moments and Common Cents,” a fundraising program to continue supporting Waves for Water. Visit wavesforwater.org for more information, and to donate to the cause.

MHS freshman Ricky Vilomar carefully extracts hair from the crime scene.

Pazarena said. The event was optional for all the students as extra credit in their science classes. An abundant interest was shown as the dining hall jostled with students taking turns collecting hair samples and throwing sponges covered in red paint to recreate a murder scene. “I started becoming interested in forensic science this year, through the class I am taking with Ms. Barton,” Matanzas High School Junior Lonnesa Perkins said. “It seems to be a rewarding career, because it solves crimes and helps people. I plan to pursue the career in college and eventually be hired on as a civilian.”

Matanzas High School students explored a mock crime scene and collected evidence to uncover a mystery killer on Thursday, Nov. 19. The event was the first of its kind, and based on the ample interest shown by the students, there will be more crime scenes to come. Interactive lab stations were set up inside the school’s dining hall and in the courtyard. For example, each student viewed samples collected samples from the crime scene under microscopes and examine the acquired blood samples with the Kastle-Meyer Test. University of Central Florida Forensic Science Association students were stationed at each lab to work one-on-one with the high school students. “Our goal today was to spark the student’s interest and give them realistic expectations on what the job entails,” Flagler County CSI Forensic and Evidence Unit Manager Laura
